“If you are lucky enough that she is available then don't hesitate and book Carol”
I just spent an amazing full day Tokyo with Carol. Her English is great, she was friendly, extremely agile, adjusting her style to my preferences and extremely outgoing and easy to talk to. So my advice is simple, if she is still available on the date you want to visit Tokyo, don't hesitate and book her!
